The Bengall reminded me why I bother packing a straight when I travel. Lovely shave and really enjoying the warmth of the Tonka this morning, like an old familiar blanket.

Brush: TF Custom Shades of Blue & Gold Tuxedo Shaving Brush
Razor: Timeless Bronze SB
Blade: Euromax (1)
Soap: Stirling Soap Co. Black Cherry
Pre: Shower + PAA Cube
Post: Mr Royal cologne // AP Reserve Escentials Restoration Serum // Stirling Soap Co. Unscented balm

Pure shaving bliss!!! I feel like an idiot as I'm late to the party with Stirling soaps. :facepalm: The soap base lathers superbly with great slickness and post shave feel, not to mention how pleasant the scent was. I can certainly smell the cherry when lathering, mixed in with some Cella. :love: I'm sold! (y) Also lots of menthol goodness from the Cube pre-shave soap.

The brush meets all my expectations and feels fabulous in the hand, with the Bronze + Euromax providing a smooth and close DFS! Finished off with some delightful cologne, serum and balm... Happy shaves!
